The Doctor and Twilight Sparkle: The Day Equestria Cried Doctor

The halls of the castles were just destroyed in every sense of the word. The cleaning was quite the hard job as there weren't many who wanted to help clean. The ones who did were either guards or Wonderbolts. The Doctor was one of the stallions who had to take the cart of destroyed plaster and wood to a pile outside the castle. Rainbow and any pegasi were removing broken glass and wall that couldn't be reached. Twilight was moving piles of trash from the ground to the carts along with any unicorns.

"So," Doctor said as he approached back with an empty cart," what do you plan to do when this is over." Twilight looked at him and shrugged her shoulders as she dropped trash into his cart. Then Doctor started in the other direction.

"Hey Twilight," Rainbow yelled," we got a fresh pile of broken glass over here." Even though Twilight didn't like the fact that the unicorns had to put trash in the carts, she knew that if she stopped she might disappoint Celestia. So she used her magic and waited for a stallion to walk up with a cart.

The Doctor had just dropped a pile of trash when he noticed a glimmering object in a nearby pile.

"Now isn't that strange," The Doctor said as he got closer," I don't think this should be here." He pulled the object out to see just a scrap of gold from a statue. He just chuckled and dropped it. He just thought it would have been something more interesting. He flipped it over hoping to find something. He didn't it was just a piece of gold. He didn't know why but, this gold just seemed out of place. He picked it up and tossed it in his saddlebag. Then he turned around and headed back towards the castle.

The hall they were in was almost done. They had just cleared out the rest of the broken pillars and smashed wall pieces. They were just waiting for the last stallions to take the trash down.

"So Twilight," Rainbow said," do you want to hear what happened after you left?"

"Maybe later," Twilight responded. She did want to know but not right now. There was so much to do.

"Ok, whatever you say," Rainbow said. Thentoo stallions approached and and Twilight dropped the trash into their carts.

"We'll be moving onto the next area so please meet us there once your done," Twilight said. The stallions nodded and trotted off.

The next area was the dining hall and oh boy was it messy. The tables were smashed and everywhere. Half the place had collapsed and the doors were nowhere to be found. Dust was everywhere and the occasional rotten fruit or vegetable. To think years ago this place was meant to be used to celebrate occasions. Today was its first day in a long time to be used or walked in by the looks of it. The first thing they did was plan out what to get rid of first. Of course the rotten food was to be tossed out for decomposition. The next thing would be the ceiling. They started shifting through the wreckage for anything important.

"Hey I think I found something," yelled a guard pony. They all moved over to him to find a note in the wreckage. It read

Dear Celestia,

I know that i'm just your regular guard but, I have found some interest in you. If you are reading this and i'm not there then Tirek or the changelings have gotten me. I love you Celestia.

Sincerely,

Paradox

Twilight picked up the note and folded it. She turned towards a guard pony. "Take this to Celestia please we don't want to throw this out. In memory of this Paradox pony."

"Yes Princess Twilight," he said. He picked the note up and galloped off to find Celestia. Then they continued to search through the wreckage. What they found next they wish they had never seen. A mangled body laid there. Its head snapped and its eyes wide. It had no cutie mark. It was a stallion with a red mane, they hoped that it was naturally red. His eyes were green with a bright tint to them. His horn was snapped and his body was a grayish color. The body was cut in several places. They all hung their heads in sorrow. Twilight suddenly made the connection. This was Paradox he had been crushed surviving in the shadows and destruction of the castle.

"Rainbow, I hate to ask this but could you and one of the wonderbolts carry this body away," Twilight said turning to Rainbow.

"Yeah, of course we will," Rainbow replied. Her and Spitfire grabbed a set of hooves and flew slowly out the door. They were going to bury it but not right now. Twilight and the rest got back to work picking through the rubble. They finished their search and started cleaning the room. The stallions returned along with The Doctor and they started loading trash into their carts. As night approached they stopped and headed towards their living quarters, or in the Doctors case the TARDIS, and went to bed.

The Doctor was still awake he had been trying everything he could to find out why this piece of gold had seemed so important. He had found out it wasn't gold but a piece of something else. Copper which was usually found in statues. But the hall they had been in didn't have copper statues at all. So he was still confused as to what it was. He gave up and went and laid down. He would ask around tomorrow about it.
